Wormholes

I have compiled everything I know (and everything you know, too) about wormholes to include four different threads originated by me totaling more than 50,000 hits. All threads were revamped and clarified as well as spell checked. All work with the guide and the facts to include verification, editing and posting is my own except where credit is given. The guide has a linked Table of Contents as well as some illustrations.

• The purpose of this guide is to take players who know little or nothing about Wormholes (also referred to as W-spaces and holes) or POS setup and defense to the point of being able to select, move in and stay in their Wspace.


• Wormhole tactics will also be covered and will include information on how to take advantage of your island among the stars. It will not cover full explanations on how the game mechanics allow or will not allow certain things to happen as that would make the guide too vague or bloated to be useful.


• It is not the intent of this guide to explain all the details about the numerous menus and submenus of POSs themselves but rather the strengths and weaknesses of various POS modules and why they work or do not work for wormholes.


• This guide will work for any wormhole class, but it is generally written for a Class 4 Wspace or higher. There is always more than one way to skin a cat with Eve, but if you follow this guide to the letter your chances of success are about as good as it can be with any class of wormhole.


• There are also multiple ways to colonize a wormhole. This guide will cover both transient and long term stays as well as raiding setups.


• The majority of this guide is from my own experience from running a wormhole-based corporation in a Class 5 (Fusion Industries and The Hole Patrol). There is also a good portion that was derived from numerous other players and they have my full thanks and appreciation.

Specific credits for various bits of information are still contained in the original threads linked in the guide (hope they are still there).


As with all Eve guides and advice, feel free to ignore what you want at your own peril.

Can I add a small tactic for POS setup?

This was a technique used to stop cloaking ships from being able to warp to your POS and just observe it to know its defenses better.

I was in a WH roam scouting around for a group when I found a POS and decided to warp in from a planet. The corp who set the POS up setup small anchored cans at varying distances on a vector facing each planet in the WH. When I came out of warp I was basically forced out of cloak and the POS guns started to lock me. I got out fast and the danger wasn't immense to me, but I really couldn't get much of a hold on exactly what defenses they had. I was able to find a route via a safe spot to get a safe look, but if my ship hadn't been faster I may have lost it. or taken some good hits.

Its not perfect, but considering small anchorable cans are dirt cheap and essentially take up no cargo room since you can fill them with fuel when transporting them. It seemed very effective at scaring the crap out of me and There was a wreck by one can hinting that it actually scored an easy kill.

edit : sorry saw the comment on bubbles while reading again, seems just as effective

Always thought this was stickied by now, bumped for justice.

Only thing they share are their names, for each class in the w-space system from C1 to C6 the challenge are being stepped up.

Moved from Missions & Complexes.

Such an excellent guide with so many good information simply deserves to be more visible.
